Hi there, I’m a journalist at the BBC and I’m looking into whether new mums are given enough support when they have post-natal depression, or similar conditions. I’ve heard from some Mental Health Trusts that women are going to GPs, in desperate need of psychiatric support, but are being turned away.
Has that happened to you or anyone you know? Please let me know, I’m not after your personal details or anything, I’m just trying to help raise awareness over such an important issue and would appreciate any help.
